Cells contain structures with different roles. Match the function named here; no single organelle performs every process. These are simplified eukaryotic-cell examples. Not all cells contain every listed structure.

Worked example

A chloroplast carries out photosynthesis in plant cells that have it. A nucleus stores most of a typical eukaryotic cell's DNA.

Schematic eukaryotic cell: a nucleus inside a membrane boundary, with small dots representing ribosomes. Labels identify DNA storage, the boundary and protein assembly. This is not to scale and omits many structures.

Would you believe it?

Green plants carry out cellular respiration as well as photosynthesis. They need to transfer energy from stored molecules too.

Question 1 A diagram points to the selectively permeable cell boundary. What is it? ribosome cell membrane nucleus

Question 2 A diagram highlights the compartment holding most DNA in a typical plant cell. What is it? nucleus cell wall chloroplast only

Question 3 A label points to small structures making protein chains. What are they? cell walls vacuoles ribosomes

Question 4 A green-cell diagram labels the photosynthetic organelle. What is it? cell wall chloroplast mitochondrion only

Question 5 A cell model labels a major organelle for aerobic energy transfer into ATP. What is it? mitochondrion cell wall nucleus
